Fallon's a (one-night) hit! Plus: What shows are rocking the Live+7s?
Call it curiosity or chalk it up to the legions of fans of "Jarret's Room," but last night's debut of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon was something of a smash. According to James Hibberd's "The Live Feed" at The Hollywood Reporter website, Fallon's first show drew a 2.3, the highest ratings for Late Night in over three years, and scored higher than the recent debuts of Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Kimmel as late night hosts. Granted, this was only the first episode—and a fairly mediocre one at that—but NBC has to be excited that initial interest was so high. That gives them a higher precipice from which to begin the gradual fall.
